Management Discussion and Analysis
Industry Structure & Development
India is today considered as a "haven" for the logistics players of the world because of the size of the market and the untapped potential in
the market. The country today is only to the tune of 3% of the global logistics market. With increased competition, every market player is
keen to make their mark by aiming for the share of the logistics pie. Influenced by the success of the global players in the Indian market, the
Indian counterparts are also gearing up for the challenges, by providing a spectrum of services & offerings.
The global logistics market is valued at US $4 trillion with an 8% growth over the previous year. The Indian logistics industry is estimated
at 125 billion US$, of which about 90% belongs to the unorganized sector. For the remaining 10% of the organized market, the growth rate
is pegged at 20-25% per year.
Logistics in the Indian context would mean providing services such as transportation, warehousing, distribution, order & inventory
management. Logistics costs in India are about 13-14% of GDP, as against 8.7% in the US, 11% in Europe, 12% in Japan and 18% in China. A
further reduction of 1% in logistics cost could result in huge savings. Critically examining logistics cost drivers will enable Indian firms to
gain competitive edge in global market place.
The current market size for the trucking logistics is 50 billion dollars with around 2.5-3 million trucks moving within the country per day.
Transporters with a fleet less than or equal to five trucks constitute a share of around 80% of the total revenue in 2009-10 with the scenario
not being very different from 2008-09. About 2 trillion US$ of capital is being planned for the industry.
The overall logistics scenario looks quite encouraging with the road freight industry witnessing a year on year growth rate of 20%. Similarly
the rail & air freight industry grew by 15% in 2009-10. Meanwhile, the sea freight industry growth rate has been 18% and the express
logistics & supply chain logistics promising an enterprising growth of 35%.
Opportunities
The Indian Economy is on the up-tick evident from factors such as IIP growth of 16.7% for February'10, 15.1% for March'10, 17.6% in April'10
& 11.5% for May’10. The annual GDP of the country shall witness an overall growth of 7.5% in 2009-10. For the subsequent years, GDP
growth has been projected at 8.5%. As a fact, imports jumped by 43.3% and exports jumped by 36.2% in April compared to previous months.
According to the CRISIL-ETIG database, the Indian logistics (3PL) industry is also on uptick as forecasts predict a CAGR of 27% till 2013-
14 and contribution of organized logistics is expected to grow from 7% (2010) to 12% (2013).
The logistics industry contributed to around 13% of GDP in 2009-10 against 11% in 2008-09 and 12% in 2007-08. Media, healthcare, banking,
automobiles & consumer durables have been identified as the top sectors emerging as well.
The Indian warehousing sector has enormous potential as it is poised to be valued at US $55 billion by 2010-11 with around 45 million sq
ft warehousing space to be developed. About 110 logistics parks shall come up over an area of 3500 acres in next two years. Also, the
introduction of concessional import duty of 5% would help setting up mechanized handling systems & pallet racking systems/ cold storage
for food grains.
Infrastructure development is another aspect fueling growth. The government plans to invest US $ 17bn in transport infrastructure. It also
plans to create trade related infrastructure, infrastructure for Commonwealth games in 2010, envisaging world-class infrastructure for
warehousing of various products. Another dimension of development are the FTWZ's (Free trade warehousing zones), which would
enable supply chain / logistics to function much more efficiently by removing the cargo bottlenecks witnessed at the Integrated Container
Depots (ICDs).
Moreover, projects such as the green fields project, national highways development, national maritime program, introduction of freight
corridors in rails shall add fuel to the growth.
Constraints and Challenges
- Given the highly unorganized nature of the logistics industry, the foremost challenge facing the logistics companies in India is the
consolidation of various services to be provided to the customer.
- Following consolidation is the fragmented nature of the industry. There are multiple service providers with limited expertise but they
want to be the entire value chain. Having no end-to-end service providers leads to an integrator type of an arrangement and impacts
margins.
- Another aspect is infrastructure. The country's poor logistics infrastructure pushes up logistics costs compared to other countries.
This affects India's competitiveness in the global market. Logistics cost in India are way too high compared to economies of developed
countries.
- Projects such as development of extensive road network with hinterland connectivity, rapid implementation of the dedicated rail
freight corridors, capacity expansion beyond major ports sector and establishment of modern cargo handling facilities at airports are
some of the challenges before the growth of the domestic logistics industry.
Business Threats, Risks and their Mitigation
The year 2009-10 for India has been quite different from the expectations of industry stalwarts and economy speculators.
A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 9- 10 25
Unorganized trucking industry, high taxation, high input material costs, inadequate road infrastructure (which allows a truck to cover only
250-400 km a day compared with 700-800 km a day in developed regions such as the US and Europe), limited investments are some of the
challenges identified in this sector.
Being a dominant player, Gati faces competition from both domestic as well as international players. However, Gati's wide reach, competitive
cost & wide range of competitive solutions has helped in mitigating the impact of industry risk factors. Gati plans to strengthen the IT
support by launching initiatives such as third party software, IT help desks, paperless office concepts and real time data management systems
to eliminate redundancies to some extent.
Business Overview and Discussion on Financial Performance
During the year, the company has achieved a turnover of Rs. 744.72 crores, as against Rs. 618.08 crores in the previous year. Following are
the segment wise revenue figures of the Company for the year under review:
(Rs. in Crores)
Division 2009-10 2008-09
Express Distribution & Supply Chain 651.50 524.58
Coast-to-Coast (Shipping) 93.23 93.49
Other Income 6.68 12.25
Total 751.41 630.33
The Company has recommended 20% dividend during the year under review.
The financial performance of the company during the year 2009-10 was encouraging with the company having registered significant growth
across key parameters. Income earned during the year was Rs. 751 crores resulting in an overall growth of 19% over the previous year
income of Rs. 630 crores. The Express Distribution & Supply Chain division earned an income of Rs. 652 crores during the year, recording
a growth of 24% over the previous year income of Rs. 525 crores, The shipping division maintained the income at Rs. 93 crores as compared
to the income of Rs. 93 crores during the previous year. This was primarily on account of the slump that was witnessed globally in the
shipping industry. The overall expenses including the operating expenses, as a percentage of freight income, were well controlled to record
a decrease of 2%. EBITDA increased from Rs. 62 crores in previous year to Rs. 86 crores during the year thereby recording an increase of
40%. The company registered a profit after tax of Rs. 15.11 crores as compared to a loss of Rs. 15.06 crores for the previous year.

Corporate Social Responsibility
a) Gati joins hand with Govt to drive 'Harith Andhra Pradesh' Initiatives
The Government of Andhra Pradesh has taken up a path breaking initiative towards the cause of reduction of global warming & balancing
the changing climate, by planting one million saplings in a single day on July 16, 2010. This first of its kind initiative to plant a million trees on
a single day has been taken up by the state government to fulfil the cherished dream of late Chief Minister, Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy in
turning the state into 'Harith Andhra Pradesh'. As a socially responsible company, Gati associated with Government of Andhra Pradesh for
organizing transportation of the saplings from specified nursery sites to various planting sites across 22 districts of the state.
b) Christmas Party at Orphanages
GATI celebrated Christmas party in a very special way with the children from various social charity organizations at 8 locations (Pune,
Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai & Kolkata) in the month of Dec 2009. This is a very special CSR activity where
Gati has celebrated Christmas with children at orphanages. We have given Christmas gifts, cakes, snacks to the children of the orphanages
and enjoyed seeing the happiness among the children.
c) Help to Rajouli village flood victims
In Oct 2009, the flood in Andhra Pradesh left its wrath on the traditional handloom weaving industry in Rajouli village in Mehboobnagar
district. Rajouli was specifically recognized for weaving beautiful saris. The floods shattered the lives of the weavers who lost their looms
as well as houses. All their raw material and the looms were washed away in the floods and they were left with no belongings. With looms
destroyed and nowhere to stay the weavers were just hoping for some assistance to help them in keeping their tradition of weaving alive.
Its here that Gati stepped in. While the Govt provided assistance in building houses for them, Gati acquired land in the village just opposite
to the area where the houses are being constructed to build prefabricated work sheds for the weavers. In coordination with other NGOs,
Gati is also assisting in providing looms to the weavers so that they could get back to earning their livelihood.
d) Gati Blood Donation Camp
On the death anniversary of Lt Shri P D Agarwal, Gati organised a Blood donation camp at Delhi and Ambala office on September 17, 2009.
Overall 76 employees have donated blood and made their contribution to this great cause.
